You can turn it off, but you'll have to edit your prefs.js by hand.
Here's how I turned it off for my news.mozilla.org account:
exit the application
edit prefs.js, I found the line
user_pref("mail.server.server4.hostname", "news.mozilla.org");
so I knew which server (in this case, server4) to use.
Then I added the line
user_pref("mail.server.server4.abbreviate", false);
start the application.
No more abbreviation.
